Octane does little that other characters don’t do better. Players have come up with some creative uses for the Launch Pad Ultimate Ability, but ultimately, gamers can reposition themselves just as quickly and even reach higher areas using Pathfinder’s zip line and grap

Well, it turns out that Octavio Silva's parents were CEOs at Silva Pharmaceuticals. This means that he was born into wealth, and could have easily taken the path his parents had and lived a life of wealth and leisure. It seems near-death experiences were more his sp

Updated on May 26, 2024, by Prateek Pandey: With the introduction of Alter in Season 21, the game has seen drastic Legend meta changes. Alter’s tactical allows players to enter fortified buildings without triggering gas traps or getting caught in Wattson’s fences. Additionally, her Ultimate is a great safety net for players who like to play aggressively. The season update comes hot on the heels of the perk system update , which elevates a Legend’s Tactical and Ultimate abilities further. As such, players are bound to encounter teams utilizing unique playing styles and Legends to be the last one stand

Battle royale games have become one of the biggest and most popular genres in gaming. With most of them free to play, they offer an easy route for anyone to jump in, then monetize their success by having skins or extra goodies players can get for their avat

This is one of the most infuriating comps to go up against in the game. In this, Wraith's portals will be used to bait enemy players. The advantage to this is that enemies often have no way of knowing what the other end of the portal looks like, so they're much more likely to fall into this t

Octane, when stimmed is the fastest-moving legend in all of Apex Legends , and that movement in a first-person shooter provides a naturally competitive advantage. Add in a Bloodhound who is tracking enemy movement and is constantly on the hunt, and that alone is a team that is focused on pushing and pressuring opposing te

However, a Bloodhound running their Ultimate in a Solos game becomes a moving target. The noisy ultimate means multiple enemy players will hear the character, allowing them to team up on the Bloodhound from all different directi

This has since given Octane even less of an appreciation for his legs and has led to bigger and wilder stunts. Lifeline probably still doesn't feel well knowing he successfully guilted her into doing

This squad is all about smoke. Caustic creates smoke that hampers enemies' vision, damages their health despite their shield condition, and slows them down when inside a building. Bangalore has her own smoke capabilities that create a veritable blanket of smoke no one can see through. Making matters more interesting, Apex Legends has removed the Digital Threat optic from ground loot. As such, the only real counter to Bangalore’s smoke is using a recon legend, like Bloodhound or Cry

We previously mentioned the fact that sniping is seriously hard in this game. Players move very quickly, and just hitting the target is hard enough. For these same reasons, head-shots are also very difficult to pull off in Apex Legends . In fact, these shots are so difficult that a lot of professional players choose to simply aim for the chest and body inst

Gibraltar, as well as Caustic, both have Fortified Passive Perks that allows these characters to take 15% more damage and also prevents the movement slowdown that other characters get upon taking shots. Developed as a response to their under-utilization as players gravitated toward stronger characters, this still hasn’t done much to increase Gibraltar’s popularity with gam

As the player count dwindles, the battles get much more intense, with players using massive dinosaurs and dragons to wage epic battles until the last man is standing. It’s downright exciting to watch. If you manage to play with the right people, it can be one of the more memorable battle royale ga

Speed hacking: We do currently have anti-speed hacking in Apex Legends, but it’s not being as effective as intended due to a bug that we believe we’ve identified and will be addressing in our next server update. Will provide ETA for it when I have it. Working to get it out A

The full patch notes can be read on the next page of this article. Wild Frontier represents Respawn's first major step in turning the already stellar Apex 2.0 Legends into a game worth sticking with for the long haul. As the battle royale scene continues to heat up, it'll be intriguing to see how Season 1 performs and what future Seasons look like after

Zombies populate the world, meaning that players will have to take them on. On top of that, the movement is much faster than some of the more popular battle royale games, including a parkour system and much more visually dynamic colors. However, it hasn’t quite managed to break the bigger games in the ge
